The whole shoot was based on one picture he had taken with his cellphone of a fashion blogger shooting a fashion editor. He writes:

Giovanna Battaglia (Fashion Director of Vogue Pelle and Sartorialist Super-All-Star) took this shot of Garance with her cellphone, while Garance was shooting her, and I was in the background shooting both of them....is that clear? (..) a couple of weeks later Giovanna showed me the picture on her cellphone and asked me to do a full story for Vogue Pelle, based on the idea of the "cool, blogger girl".

a couple of weeks ago I went shopping to the Paseo Alcorta (in Palermo, Buenos Aires). Here are a couple of pictures of displays (I could only get a few because as soon as I showed my camera everyone started to stare- you're not supposed to take pictures at malls, who knew?)

Toms are shoes (in spanish called "alpargatas"),they were founded on a simple premise: For every pair purchased, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One.

a little history:

the founder -Blake Mycoskie- started this company after his 2006 visit to Argentina, because not ony where the children not allowed to go to school (without shoes) but there are soil transmitted diseases which primarily affect people that are bare foot.

achievements so far:

Last year TOMS SHOES- donated 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina, Ethiopia, South Africa and even children in the United States.

About me..

My name is Francesca. I started this blog as a fashion-obsessed fifteen year old trying to write about what I like, and what inspires me... and trying to find a way to express what I think. Now, four years later (still fashion obsessed), I'm still trying to find out who I am, and who I want to be.
